Soundtrack To My Broken Heart

I'm not good at talking, so I use my pen to express my broken heart 
Feeling's die and I know some people grow apart
Maybe I should hide my pain, but I'd rather show my scars 
This is the soundtrack to my broken heart 

When people constantly let you down it eventually holds weight 
People always want to bring up old mistakes 
People are only around when I'm good but didn't offer me warmth on my cold days
And you wonder why I keep my heart locked and my soul caged

I tried to hide my flaws because she only wanted the good parts of me
She said she'd help to heal me but added more scars on me
Cupid did more damage than good so now I have an invisible wall guarding me
I'm just trying to overcome this hurt so don't expect this to be wrote artfully 

I had my heart locked but she broke in
took what she wanted and left without showing any emotion 
But the thing that hurts me most
is now she's saying she misses the old me yet she was the one who broke him

Cupid is my enemy now, he gave me a good beating down
Gave her my all and it wasn't enough to keep her around 
I'm sitting here missing you while you get naked for him
When it all goes wrong don't come crying to me about the time you wasted on him

Haven't spoken to my sister in years her and my brother's on smack 
I used to be a self-harm addict but I'm 6 years recovered from that
My scars are hidden because I'm covered in tatts 
I'm tired of people telling me how to cope when they haven't suffered my past

Listening to Linkin Park while I walk my broken path
I'd trade myself just to bring Chester back
These are the tears of a broken man trying to remember how to smile 
I'd rather let you see me naked, because dressing it up has gone out of style
